National Health Commission Releases Evaluation Metrics for the 2018–2020 Action Plan to Improve Medical Services, Highlighting Telemedicine and Information Sharing as Core Elements of Digital Transformation
On November 7, VCBeat (WeChat Official Account: vcbeat) learned that the National Health Commission had publicly released the “Assessment Indicators for the Action Plan to Further Improve Medical Services (2018–2020)” (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”). The Plan is divided into two versions, targeting medical institutions and health administrative departments, respectively. Observations indicate that both versions include requirements for informatization.
In the version for medical institutions, there are 12 first-level indicators and 39 second-level indicators, with a total score of 100 points. In the version for health administrative departments, there are 6 first-level indicators and 15 second-level indicators, with a total score of 50 points.
According to VCBeat’s observations, a significant portion involves informatization. In this regard, we have compiled the following chart based on the two “Plan” documents:
As shown in the table, the version for medical institutions includes 22 points for informatization, accounting for 22% of the total score; the version for health administrative departments includes 26 points for informatization, accounting for 52% of the total score.
From the perspective of indicators scoring 4 and above, remote services have become the absolute core of infrastructure development for medical institutions. These services involve providing remote support to primary care facilities or patients, including remote consultations, remote imaging, remote ultrasound, remote electrocardiography (ECG), remote pathology, remote ward rounds, remote monitoring, remote training, remote health monitoring, and remote health education.
For health administrative departments, regional information sharing on platforms, namely interoperability, has become the absolute core of development.
